2026 Dirty Dozen list
Hi All,
Here is this year's Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen by the Environmental Working Group.
The dirty dozen are the fruits and veggies with the highest pesticide residues, which we should buy organic. Soap and water doesn't get it off - it has long since seeped into the fruit/veggie. Pesticides are increasingly known to cause numerous adverse health effects. Basically, we're consuming chemicals our bodies can't handle.
The clean fifteen have the lowest residues - fine to buy conventional, not organic. So if you're working on a budget and can't afford it all organic (I try, but...) here is something to help with the decision.
